Art of the Song
Art of the Song is a one-hour, independently-produced radio show with music and interviews exploring inspiration and creativity through songwriting and other art forms. The program is heard on over 160 stations worldwide. Learn why songwriters and artists create, how they become inspired, and how you can tap into that creative source in every aspect of your life.
Our guest this week on Art of the Song is singer/songwriter/band leader, Jay Farrar. One of the founding fathers of the “Alt Country” movement, Jay is a veteran of two critically acclaimed groups, Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt, the latter of which is still a going concern. When we heard that Son Volt’s new album, Union, was partially recorded at the Mother Jones Museum in Mt. Olive, Illinois, we just had to learn more and talk with Jay about the process. Jay visited with us from the studios of KWMU in St. Louis, Missouri.
